A registrar in an academic institution refers to a senior administrative executive who looks after the Registrar’s management and leadership. Generally, a registrar is responsible for various actions in the main office of any academic institution. They are responsible for registration requests, scheduling classes and maintaining class lists, keeping a permanent record of grades and marks, enforcing rules for entering and leaving classes, etc. In an institution, a student constantly interacts with the registrar’s official actions to get any document, record, or relatable process done. Their job is to ensure that there is accuracy and integrity maintained in the academic history of the institution. Every educational institution ensures a proper registration process, updates the records, provides transfer credit, and provides transcripts and enrolment verifications for scholarships. Besides, when a student graduates from a college or university, the registrar audits the student’s record, provides a pass to the graduation, and calculates honours to be marked on your sheet. A registrar must be hired as a full-time salaried officer as they are crucial for handling the essential elements of the student’s records. Moreover, they work under the vice-chancellor’s direction, superintendence, and control. Their qualifications or experience for getting employed as the registrar of an academic institution is laid by the University Grants Commission and approved by the State Government.
